Efficiency of the Carbide Machining Process with WEDM Technology

Abstract:

Carbide machining process brings a whole range of problems in practice. This mainly concerns problems associated with their machinability and the economy of the applied machining technology. Because of these problems, it is often not possible to use traditional production technologies when machining them. However, progressive machining technologies achieve relatively good results. However, even with progressive technologies, the problem with the overall efficiency of the machining process remains. Therefore, experimental research was carried out, the aim of which was to obtain relevant data regarding the quantification of qualitative indicators of the machined surface during the machining of hard metals through progressive electrical discharge technology in relation to the overall economic efficiency of the machining process. As part of the conducted experimental research, partial data of individual elements were obtained on the basis of which complex conclusions were drawn in mutual contexts. Subsequently, complex data regarding the effectiveness of the applied electrical discharge process in the machining of hard metals were summarized.
